I've tried your instructions on a machine without SBCL and I am getting:

Polling "/tmp/slime.29661".. (Abort with `M-x
slime-abort-connection'.) [3 times]
Connecting to Swank on port 4005..
Versions differ: 2011-12-10 (slime) vs. nil (swank). Continue? (y or n)
error in process filter: or: Can't find suitable coding-system
error in process filter: Can't find suitable coding-system

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Vitalie.

PS: my slime setup:

(require 'slime)
(setq slime-net-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
(slime-setup '(slime-asdf slime-repl slime-scratch slime-presentations
slime-media))
(setq slime-lisp-implementations
      '((R ("R" "--no-save" "--max-vsize=4096M")
           :init (lambda (port-filename coding-system)
                   (format

"source('/home/vitoshka/.emacs.d/site-lisp/swankr/swank.R',
keep.source=TRUE, chdir=TRUE)\nstartSwank('%s')\n" port-filename)))))
